How to Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

The greatest common factor of two or more whole numbers is the largest whole number that divides evenly into each of the numbers.

In this case, the GCF is 15.
GCF is also GCM

Answer 5

Example: Find the GCF of 18 and 27

The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18.

The factors of 27 are 1, 3, 9, 27.

The common factors of 18 and 27 are 1, 3 and 9.

The greatest common factor of 18 and 27 is 9.

Example: Find the GCF of 20, 50 and 120

The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.

The factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50.

The factors of 120 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120

The common factors of 20, 50 and 120 are 1, 2, 5 and 10. (just the numbers common to all three)

The greatest common factor of 20, 50 and 120 is 10.
